Thomas Rozsypalek is a young ripper from Pemberton, BC. Working summers to take the winters off he’s been obsessed with backcountry skiing ever since his dad took him out for the first time years ago. He claims to have had a very short stint as a park rat, only a few days actually until his father noticed the worrisome trend, took him into the backcountry and it’s been tech bindings, skins and powder fields ever since.
